washington slept here
Washington slept here
Or somewhere quite near
We don't know for sure
Lafayette spoke in French
To the crowd on a bench
When he came on a tour
Jefferson took a piss
Opportunity not missed
To build a cabin too small
Every site to be marked
With a historic placard
For enlightenment of all
There are at least 150 George Washington slept here markers.
